A new, sensitive spectrophotometric determination of palladium has been developed, based on the extraction of the red Pd(II) chelate with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol in the presence of N,N′-diphenylguanidine into n-butanol; the sensitivity of the method according to Sandell is S = 1.12 μg cm^?2, ?₅₃₀ = 9.4 × 10⁴ liters mol^?1 cm^?1, and palladium can be determined at concentrations from 0.21 to 1.91 μg ml^?1.     

Evaluation of unsymmetrical dithiodiglycolamide as novel extractant for application in selective separation of palladium(II) from aqueous solutions

A novel unsymmetrical multidentate ligand namely; N,N'-dimetyl-N,N'-didecyldithiodiglycolamide (DMD³TDGA) was synthesized and used as agent for the selective extraction of palladium(II) from hydrochloric acid solutions. A systematic investigation was carried out on the extraction of Pd(II) using DMD³TDGA. The quantitative extraction of Pd(II) with DMD³TDGA in n-dodecane is observed at ~4 M HCl. The main extracted species of Pd(II) is PdC_l2. DMD³TDGA and IR spectra of the extracted species were investigated. The extraction of palladium(II) from various concentrations of hydrochloric acid solutions in the presence of metal ions, such as Pt(IV), Rh(III), Cr(II), Ni(II), Fe(III), Nd(III), Zr(II), and Mn(II) was carried. DMD³TDGA showed very high selectivity and extractability for Pd(II). Quantitative back extraction of Pd(II) was obtained in single contact using thiourea solution. The results obtained indicated that, excellent separation of Pd(II) from the investigated metal ions can be achieved. Five successive cycles of extraction/back-extraction, indicating excellent stability and re-utilization of this new extractant can be used for selective separation of Pd(II) from other elements in hydrochloric acid medium.     

Sensitive spectrophotometric determination of palladium with tin(II) chlorided and rhodamine-6g after flotation

Palladium is determined by reaction with tin(II) chloride and rhordamine-6G in hydrochloric acid medium, flotation of the ion-association complex, [(R6G⁺)₂Pd (SnCl^?₃)₄]·[(R6G⁺) (SnCl^?₃] with di-isopropyl ether, and dissolution in acetone for spectrophotometry. The molar absorptivity is 2.84 x 10⁵ l mol^?1 cm^?1 at 530 nm; Beer's law is obeyed in the range 0.05–0.35 μg Pd ml^?1. Other platinum metals and silver interfere. Traces of palladium in silver metal are determined after extraction of palladium with dimethylglyoxime in chloroform.     

Spectrophotometric Determination of Palladium(II) with n-Hydroxy-N,N-Diphenylbenzamidine and 1 -(2-Pyridylazo)-2-Naphthol

A spectrophotometric method to determine palladium(II) at trace levels is based on the extraction of palladium(II) as a binary complex with N-hydroxy-N,N′-diphenylbenzamidine (HDPBA) in chloroform at pH 5.0 ± 0.2. The complex shows maximum absorbance at 400 nm with molar absorptivity 6.4 × 10³ L mol^?1 cm^?1. The sensitivity of the Pd(II)-HDPBA complex was enhanced by the addition of l-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN). The green coloured complex shows maximum absorbance at 620 nm with molar absorptivity 1.58 × 10⁴ L mol^?1 cm^?1. Sandell's sensitivity and the detection limit of the method are 0.0067 μg cm^?2and 0.1 μg Pd(II) mL^?1, respectively. Most common metal ions associated with palladium metal do not interfere. The effects of various analytical parameters on the extraction of the metal are discussed.     

The molecular structure of a three-coordinate palladium(II)-styrene complex [Pd(η5-C5H5)(PEt3)(styrene)]BF4

The molecular structure of a three-coordinate palladium(II)-styrene complex, [Pd(η⁵-C₅H₅)(PEt₃)(styrene)]BF₄ has been determined by means of X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c, with four formula units in a cell of dimensions: a 10.229(3), b 11.262(3), c 18.760(5) Å and β 103.77(2)°. The structure was solved by the heavy atom method, and refined by the least-squares procedure to R = 0.050 for 3635 observed reflections. The palladium atom is surrounded by the cyclopentadienyl group, the triethylphosphine ligand and the olefinic bond of styrene in the cationic complex. In the palladiumstyrene bonding, the olefinic bond is inclined by 77.3° to the coordination plane defined by the Pd and P atoms and the center of the cyclopentadienyl ring (PdC(1) 2.176(6), PdC(2) 2.234(5) and C(1)C(2) 1.369(8) Å).     

Some mixed-ligand palladium(II) complexes and comparison of their photosensitizing ability with analogous platinum(II) complexes

Three new palladium(II) complexes of formula [Pd(bipy)(XX)] [where bipy is 2,2′-bipyridine and XX are dianions of catechol (CAT), 4-tert-butylcatechol (BCAT) and 3,4-dimercaptotoluene (DMT)] have been prepared and characterized by physical methods. A ligand-ligand charge-transfer band in each complex was observed between 16–21 kK (ε_max = 1500–2200 1 mol^?1 cm^?1) which is negatively solvochromic. These palladium(II) complexes in dimethylformamide photosensitize the formation of singlet oxygen and their ability to photosensitize triplet oxygen (³O₂) to singlet oxygen (¹O₂) are compared with analogous platinum(II) complexes. In addition, 2,2′-bipyridine-platinum(II) complex of 3,4-dimercaptotoluene also undergoes self-sensitized photooxidation.     

A study of the reactions of methionine- and histidine-containing peptides with palladium(II) complexes: The key role of steric crowding on palladium(II) in the selective cleavage of the peptide bond

¹H NMR spectroscopy was applied to study the reactions of palladium(II) complexes, cis-[Pd(dpa)Cl₂] and cis-[Pd(dpa)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ (dpa is 2,2′-dipyridylamine acting as a bidentate ligand) with the dipeptides methionylglycine (Met-Gly) and histidylglycine (His-Gly), and the N-acetylated derivatives of these dipeptides, MeCOMet-Gly and MeCOHis-Gly. All reactions were carried out in the pH range 2.0–2.5 with equimolar amounts of the palladium(II) complex and the peptide at two different temperatures, 25 and 60 °C. In the reactions of cis-[Pd(dpa)Cl₂] and cis-[Pd(dpa)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ with Met-Gly and His-Gly, no hydrolysis of the peptide bond was observed. The final product in these reactions was the [Pd(dpa)₂]²⁺ complex. The square-planar structure of this complex was confirmed by X-ray analysis. The reaction of the cis-[Pd(dpa)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ complex with the MeCOHis-Gly and MeCOMet-Gly peptides under the previously mentioned experimental conditions was remarkably selective in the cleavage of the amide bond involving the carboxylic group of methionine in the side chain. The modes of coordination of cis-[Pd(dpa)Cl₂] and cis-[Pd(dpa)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ in the reactions with the non-acetylated peptides and the total steric inhibition of the hydrolytic reaction between cis-[Pd(dpa)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ and MeCOHis-Gly can be attributed to the steric bulk of the palladium(II) complex. This finding should be taken into consideration in designing new palladium(II) complexes for the regioselective cleavage of peptides and proteins.     

The separation of palladium and platinum by ion flotation

Differences in the ion flotation properties of palladium(II) and platinum(IV) chloro complexes in aqueous solutions are used to achieve separations of these metals. The anionic chloro complex PtCl^2-₆ is floated selectively with cationic surfactants of the type, RNR'₃Br, from solutions of PdCl^2-₄ and various concentrations of hydrochloric acid. The palladium(II) does not float from solutions of ? 3.0 M HCl and the platinum(IV) floated from these solutions can be recovered free of palladium. However, the separation is incomplete as much of the platinum(IV) is also unfloated from these solutions. Quantitative separations are obtained by conversion of the palladium(II) to the cationic ammine, Pd(NH₃)₄²⁺ with aqueous ammonia prior to flotation. The anionic chloro complex of platinum(IV) is unaffected by the presence of ammonia and is floated quantitatively with the surfactant n-hexadecyltri-n-propylammonium bromide from 0.01 M ammonia solutions.     

Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetric determination of Cd and Pb at a bismuth glassy carbon electrode modified with Nafion, poly(2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes

A simple, cheap, and nonpolluting method was developed for the cloud point extraction of gold (Au) and palladium (Pd). It is based on the complexation reaction of Au and Pd with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (PMBP) and micelle mediated extraction of the complex using the non-ionic surfactant poly(ethylene glycol) mono-p-nonylphenyl ether (PONPE 7.5). Under the optimized experimental conditions, the enrichment factors are 16 and 17 for Au and Pd, respectively, for 15?mL of preconcentrated solution. The limits of detection are 3.8???g?L^?1 and 1.8???g?L^?1 for Au and Pd, respectively. The relative standard deviations are 1.4% for Au and 0.6% for Pd (n?=?11). The method was successfully applied to the determination of Au and Pd in certified reference materials and mine samples.

Abstract

Isonitroso-4-methyl-2-pentanone (HIMP) is proposed as a new reagent for extraction and photometric determination of Pd(II). The reagent forms a yellow complex with palladium in the pH range 4.0-5.0. The complex extracted into chloroform was measured at 330 nm. The molar absorptivity was found to be 5.37 × 10³ 1 mol^?1 cm^?1 and Sandell's sensitivity 20 ng cm^?2 Beer's law was obeyed over the concentration range 0.1-10.0 μg/ml of palladium. The method is applicable for palladium estimation in Ores and catalysts.     

Analytical study of the phenyl-2-pyridyl ketone azine-palladium system. Photometric determination of palladium

Phenyl-2-pyridyl ketone azine reacts with palladium(II) to produce a yellow 1:1 complex (λ_max = 425 nm, ? = 10.4 × 10³M^?1 cm^?1 in aqueous ethanolic solution) and a red-violet 3:1 complex (λ_max = 530?540 and 380?390 nm). The yellow complex in aqueous ethanolic solution has been used for the spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of palladium. The method has been applied to the determination of palladium in some catalysts and one mineral.     

Synergistic extraction and spectrophotometric determination of palladium(II), iron(III), and tellurium(IV) at trace level by newly synthesized p-[4-(3,5-dimethylisoxazolyl)azophenylazo]calix(4)arene

A spectrophotometric method for the determination of palladium, iron and tellurium from nitric acid media after extraction of their p-[4-(3,5-dimethylisoxazolyl)azophenylazo]calix(4)arene [DMIAPAC] complexes has been developed and possible synergistic effects have been investigated. Chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, cyclohexane, 1,2-dichloroethane, toluene and xylene were used as the diluents. The maximum enhancement was obtained in the presence of 30% 1,2-dichloroethane. The trace amounts of metals were determined spectrophotometrically. Beer’s law obeyed in the concentration range of 5.0–95.0 μg, 8.0–120.0 μg and 10.0–140.0 μg/10 mL of the final solution of palladium, iron and tellurium, respectively. The molar absorptivities (l mol^?1cm^?1) and Sandell’s sensitivities (μg cm ^?1) were calculated: Pd(II) = 1.73 × 10⁴ and 0.0061; Fe(III) = 1.08 × 10⁴ and 0.0052; Te(IV) = 1.67 × 10⁴ and 0.0077. Ten replicate analyses containing 20 μg of Pd(II), 12.5 μg of Fe(III) and 32 μg of Te(IV) gave mean absorbance of 0.326, 0.242 and 0.418 with relative standard deviation of 0.36, 0.65 and 0.82% for Pd(II), Fe(III) and Te(IV), respectively. The interference of various ions was studied and optimum conditions were developed for the determination of these metals in certain alloys and synthetic mixtures.     

Extraction into methyl isobutyl ketone of metal complexes with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate formed in strongly acidic media

It is shown that stable metal complexes with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) are formed in strongly acidic (0.5–6 M) solutions and can be extracted into methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), although APDC is normally used for extractions from solutions at pH 2–12. Percentage extraction curves are presented for 24 elements (Ag, As, Au, Bi, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Hg, In, It, Ni, Os, Pb, Pd, Pt, Rh, Ru, Sb, Sn, Tl and Zn) from solutions of hydrochloric or nitric acid with and without addition of APDC. Some elements (e.g., Fe, Ga, Ge, In and Au) show identical extractions as their chloro complexes in hydrochloric acid with or without APDC. Others (e.g., Ni, Cu, Pd, As, Ag, Sb, It, Hg and Bi) are strongly extracted (K_d ? 20), from 2 M hydrochloric or nitric acid in the presence of APDC. Palladium (K_d = 8000), Sb (K_d = 10 000), and Bi (K_d = 3500) are particularly easily extracted. The potential of the extraction system was tested by extraction and quantification of palladium from the CANMET standard ore PTC-1; the mean value found was 12.55 μg g^?1 (ppm) palladium with a relative standard deviation of 7.6% (n = 12) and a relative error of 1.2% from the recommended value of 12.70 μg g^?1.     

Kinetics and mechanism of back-extraction: selected palladium extraction systems

The equilibrium and kinetics of back-extraction (stripping) of palladium originally extracted as PdCl^2?₄ from the chloroform extracts obtained with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN), 7-(4-ethyl-1-methyloctyl)quinolin-8-ol (Kelex 100) or dioctyl sulfide (R₂S) were investigated. Replacement of chloride in extracted species by thiocyanate occurs prior to back-extraction. The back-extraction equilibria have been described by Pd(SCN)₂(R₂S)₂(o) + 2SCN^?K_BX1 Pd(SCN)^2?₄ + 2R₂S(o), with K_BX1=10^{?(1.16±0.05)}, and Pd(SCN)PAN(o) + 3SCN^? + H⁺K_BX2 Pd(SCN)^2?₄ + PAN(o), with K_BX2=10^4.89±0.06. The rate of stripping from PdPAN and PdKelex 100 displayed an inverse first-order dependence on the solution pH, a second-order dependence on the thiocyanate concentration and was zero order in both the chloride and the organic phase chelate concentration. More complicated kinetics were observed for palladium stripping in the dioctyl sulfide system. In all systems, the enhancement in stripping rate parallels the size of the “trans effect”.     

The extractive spectrophotometric determination of palladium(ii) as the mixed-ligand complex with picolinealdehyde-2-hydroxy-5-phenylanil and chloride ion

The extraction of palladium(II) with chloroform in the presence of PHPA and chloride ions is described. The extracted species has an absorption maximum at 627 nm, and Beer's law is obeyed over the range 10–200 μg of palladium. The molar absorptivity is 4.90·10³ l mol^?1 cm^?1 at 627 nm. The 1:1:1 Pd(PHPA)-Cl complex is extracted from aqueous solution. The effect of foreign ions on the determination of palladium(II) is examined.     

Microdetermination of palladium based on formation of ternary complex of palladium with pyrogallol red and cetylpyridinium bromide

A new spectrophotometric method was employed for the determination of microamounts of palladium(II) based on the ternary complex formation with pyrogallol red and cetylpyridinium bromide. A blue green ternary complex, whose molar absorptivities is 22500 mol^?1 cm^?1 at 650 nm, is formed. Composition (PdPGRCP₃) of the ternary complex was established by continuous variation and mole ratio methods. Beer's law range (0.1–8.5 ppm of Pd) and Sandell's sensitivity (0.001 γ/cm²) were evaluated. The conditional stability constant value (logK = 24.35) was determined by Prakash et al. 's method. A detailed study was made for the determination of microamounts of palladium in the presence of platinum metals and several other cations and anions.     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Three Palladium（Ⅱ） Complexes with Isonitrosobenzoylacetoneimine Ligand

Three palladium (II) complexes with the isonitrosobenzoylacetoneimine (HIBI) ligand, Pd (p‐CH₃C₆H₄IBI)₂ (1), Pd (C₆H₅IBI)₂ (2) and Pd₂Cl₂ (C₆H₅CH₂IBI)₂ · CHCl₃ (3), were prepared and characterized by IR, Raman and X‐ray diffraction studies. The geometries around the palladium atoms in the complexes 1 and 2 are distorted trans‐PdN₄ square planes, and the Schiff base ligands RIBI^? are coordinated through their oximo‐nitrogen atoms and imino‐nitrogen atoms. The week Pd…H? C agostic interactions [Pd…H = 0.2764 nm] complete the hexacoordinate environment around palladium in the complex 1. The octahedral deformation of the classical square planar environment of the Pd atom is due to the week Pd…O (1b) interactions [Pd? O (1b) = 0.3157 (9) nm] in the complex 2. The complex 3 is a first example of binuclear complex with isonitrosoketoimine ligands, in which one of oximo groups is coordinated through oximo‐nitrogen and oximo‐oxygen atoms.     

The kinetics of reduction of palladium (II) complexes with β-alanine at dropping mercury electrode and the complexes’ stability constants

By using dc and ac polarography, the kinetics of electroreduction of the palladium (II) complexes with β-alanine at a dropping mercury electrode was studied in solutions with the palladium (II) concentration from 2 × 10^?5 to 2 × 10^?4 M and variable β-alanine and sodium perchlorate concentrations (pH 6–12). One polarographic wave was observed in solutions with pH 9 and 10 at the β-alanine overall concentration of c _βala = 1 × 10^?3 to 5 × 10^?2 M; two waves, at lower pH or higher c _βala. It was concluded on the formation of different forms of palladium (II) complexes in the studied solutions; the complexes contained two to four β-alanine coordinated anions. Using the limiting diffusion currents for the two waves at pH 9–11 and c _βala = 0.1 and 0.5 M, the stepwise stability constant for the Pd(βala) ₄ ^2? complex was calculated. Using two ac peaks observed at pH 7–8 and c _βala = 1 × 10^?2 to 0.1 M, the stepwise stability constant for the Pd(βala) ₃ ^? . was calculated. The perchlorate ions adsorbed at the dropping mercury electrode, as well as βala^? anions at their higher concentrations, hamper the electroreduction of the palladium (II) complexes with β-alanine.     

Properties of PAN-TBP extraction chromatographic material

Three production routes of the preparation of a solid extractant based on tributylphosphate (TBP) embedded in the polyacrylonitrile matrix (PAN) have been studied. The method of direct PAN coagulation with TBP was found to be not viable due to the significant TBP solubility in the coagulation bath. The most suitable PAN-TBP solid extractant was prepared by the well-known impregnation method of ready-made neat PAN beads. The kinetics of uranium extraction from 3 mol L^?1 HNO₃, the effect of nitrate and nitric acids concentrations on the value of weight distribution coefficients D _g as well as the uranium “extraction isotherm” were determined for this material. Uranium extraction was rather fast, approximately 1 h was sufficient for the equilibrium achievement. Capacity for the uranium uptake, measured in batch experiments on PAN-TBP for 0.048 mol L^?1 of uranium in 3 mol L^?1 nitric acid, was found to be q = 0.363 mmol g^?1 (58 % of the theoretical capacity). It was concluded that PAN-TBP material behaves like TBP in liquid–liquid extraction. Extraction capacity determined in column experiments was lower (by about 23 %) than expected from the “extraction isotherm” due to the TBP leaching out of the column. The thus prepared material is therefore not very suitable for multicycle extraction and stripping and can be used once, particularly for the analytical purposes.     

Sorption of aqueous palladium onto synthetic hydroxyapatite

The sorption of Pd(II) on hydroxyapatite (Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂) has been studied at 25 °C as a function of pH, in 0.01 M NaClO₄, and 0.01 and 0.025 M Ca(ClO₄)₂ aqueous background electrolytes and Pd(II) concentration (9.3 to 47 ??M), trying to minimize some types of reactions, such as solid dissolution of and metal precipitation. The radiotracer palladium, ¹⁰⁹Pd, obtained by neutron irradiation, has been used to calculate the palladium??s distribution coefficients K _d between aqueous and solid phase. A mathematical treatment of results has been made by ion-exchange theory in order to interpret palladium sorption onto treated solid. For this, we take into account the existence of active sites at the hydroxyapatite surface, and the aqueous solution chemistry of palladium as well as the effect of phosphate anions from solid dissolution. The results can be explained as evidence of sorption of the species PdOH⁺, and of a mixed hydroxo complex of Pd²⁺ like (XCaO^?)?CPdOH⁺·nH₂O fixed onto {??Ca?COH} surface sites of the hydroxyapatite.
